Cardiovascular Flashcards
(47 cards)
period of ventricular contraction. Tri/bicupid valves close
systole S1
period of ventricular relaxation and refill
diastole
closing of aortic valve. end of systole
S2
represents atrial depolarization
p wave
represents ventricular depolarization
QRS complex
represents repol of ventricles
T wave
normal CO =
4-6 L/min
most common cause of hopitalization and death in older Americans
cardiovascular dysfunction CVD
hypertension blood pressure
140/90
hypertension w/ unknown cause
primary
hypertension 2* another identifiable medical problem
secondary
BP that fluctuates btwn normal and HTN
labile
HTN BP Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
- 140-159/90-99
- 160-179/100-109
- 180+/110+
modifiable HTN risk factors (3)
- DM
- stress
- obesity
w/ HTN check BP….
before, during and after tx
HTN when exercising, BP may decrease as much as…
10-20mmHg
arthrosclerosis of the arteries of the heart
coronary artery disease CAD
plaque formation in artery resulting in progressive occlusion and decreased elasticity
arthrosclerosis
first and second most common sites for arthrosclerosis
- brain
2. heart
most prevalent risk factor for CAD
lack of exercise
chest pain that is a result of a partial or complete blockage of a coronary artery. Temporary pain that starts suddenly and radiates. Goes away when activity stops
angina pectoralis
development of ischemia (decr blood flow) w/ resultant necrosis of myocardial tissue.
Myocardial Infaction MI
MI s/s (5)
- chest pain
- nausea
- dyspnea
- pale
- weakness
MI no gross pathological changes
0-6 hours
